There really, really aren't any possible reasons for it, though. The staff webportal is accessible to all staff, on any computer. The request would be saved in that webportal for eternity. Any staff that needed to read it, for any reason whatsoever, at any point in the future, would be able to access it through the webportal.

Literally the only reason to take a screenshot of this would be to show it to someone who didn't have access to it, i.e. a player.

Anaiah,

Once upon a time you posted a screenshot to your public photobucket. This screenshot included the staff webportal, where you were reading an extremely sensitive and current, at the time at least, character report from a high-ranking Kurac. This character report outlined his plans to kill a Lirathan and some of her crew, and to blame it on others, among other things. Needless to say these things were sensitive to current happenings in the game.


1. Why did this screenshot exist?

Because I was having an issue with the way the request tool was displaying. There were things that should have been showing that were not, that were only doing that on that specific request. I was trying to explain to Nyr what was happening in order to see what the deal was. He asked me to make the screenshot, so I did.

2. Who were you showing/helping cheat/showing favoritism toward?

I wasn't. This is based on a false supposition.

3. How can you extoll the virtues of being impartial and balanced and fair, and clearly be helping friends avoid consequences, or at the very least know about current happenings in the game?

That is only an assumption on your part, not what happened. So... very easily.

4. Why were you not fired immediately for this breach of trust?

Because it wasn't a breach of trust, it was an accident on my part of not realizing that everything I put up there was public by default, then me fixing the accident once its consequences were pointed out to me.


Please don't lie and say this didn't happen, because several of us know it did.

I have no reason to lie and say this didn't happen. Why would you assume that that would be my response when I've tried to be nothing but forthcoming thus far?

Everyone else: do you think that that behavior is acceptable in any way? Is this more or less acceptable than a staff avatar using information they gleaned from character reports directly? Keeping in mind that Kurac wasn't one of Anaiah's clans at the time and she really had no business reading that report at all.

The person who CC'd the Tuluki Templarate when they turned the request in seemed to think that the clan staff for the Tuluki Templarate ought to read it. Which was me at the time.

Would you be pleased if that were your long pursued plot to kill someone off, only to find out that suddenly, people knew your secret plans?

It wasn't the only mistake I've made, but it was the most public one. At one point with a character of mine, I was logged in in Allanak and called them by their true name on accident, not realizing that I'd done so without the information having been given to me but used to seeing it flash on and off as them logging in and out 6-8 times a day as they'd log in and log out. (Lianna vs Li) I could've sworn that that was how the templar that had introduced them had introduced her, and she put in a request about it where it had to be explained that it was a simple accident. Not every mistake that is made is malicious, or even intentional. Sometimes you fuck up and don't realize you have until someone else points it out.

Discuss.
